How QuikClot Works
The clotting of blood quickly from an injury is essential for survival to prevent the patient from hemorrhage, shock and death. One of the most important steps to save a life in an injury situation is to stop the bleeding. QuikClot is a product no first aid kit should be without. It is a chemically inert material that speeds coagulation of blood, resulting in a stable clot that stops bleeding. The QuikClot Zeolite beads are contained in a sterile, non-adherent mesh bag so that it can be easily applied by anyone and can also easily and cleanly be removed from the wound by professional medical providers. It is safe to use and is a low heat formula that will not burn the skin. Leave QuikClot in place until more advanced medical help arrives.
